The first steel and concrete oil containment dome was finished yesterday and will be shipped off today to the site of the massive Deepwater Horizon oil leak. The hope is that the cap can be installed over the largest of the leaks, and the oil will then move through a 5,000 ft riser up to the surface into the holding tank of a ship. If all goes as planned, this containment cap will be able to collect about 85% of the oil gushing up from the sea floor....
